Why private and not public?

Here is a comment from Hillary Clinton during the Saban Forum on Nov. 30, 2012. It says it all:

"I think Israelis have good grounds to be suspicious. And I would never be one who tries to rewrite or dismiss history. The Palestinians could have had a state as old as I am if they had made the right decision in 1947. They could have had a state if they had worked with my husband and then-Prime Minister Barak at Camp David. They could have had a state if they’d worked with Prime Minister Olmert and Foreign Minister Livni."

My only question is this: why is it that such a comment is made in a private forum and not publicly?
